1 3/11 sq ft of the ceiling in 1 hour 31 minutes.
%281%2B3%2F11%29%2F%28+1+hour+31+minutes%29
%2811%2F11%2B3%2F11%29%2F%28+1+%2B+31%2F60+%29
%2814%2F11%29%2F%281+%2B+31%2F60+%29
%2814%2F11%29%2F%2860%2F60+%2B+31%2F60%29
%2814%2F11%29%2F%2891%2F60%29
approximately 1.2727/1.5167 = 0.8391 sq ft per hour
